The Georgia Haunted Trail

Georgia's dark history runs along two separate tracks: the college towns and river cities of the interior, and the coastal historic district further south and east. Atlanta's downtown carries hotel-fire history and campus legends, coastal Savannah is dense with antebellum museums and evening walking tours, and the courthouse towns in between hold true crime cases that once drew national newspaper coverage. More than 180 documented stops mix free museums with paid tours, and several sit on ground with real, difficult history handled carefully on the venue page rather than folded into a checklist. The Macon-to-Savannah drive featured here covers one deliberate slice of all that.
